Only downside now is that you have to get angry when you get a scratch on it.

Nice job
But warrior black is just pure jet black anyway .
There's only one tinter in it . On my lechler scheme it's 61-081 intense (jet) black so you have actually done it original colour anyway . Makes it easier for future touchups .

Yeah it's amazing what a lick of paint can do . I have it all the time with customers cars . Newer cars I can mix the paint and it matches almost straight away . Older vehicles that have had the sun fading them can be a nightmare to match . Even going by the paint code its so much tougher .
When I painted my truck almost 2 years ago I wish I'd sprayed the whole truck afterwards as I was just doing a quick colour up job but the standard black had faded a lot . It's not that visible until you were up close to it . I wanted to get the most intense black I could get and it turned out that the black Mitsubishi used was that colour anyway Lol .

Ooooo that's nice . I love candy red .
Have you tried candy red over a black base coat . Build up in layers and you get a really deep cherry red .
